The 22-year-old stopper saved five spot-kicks over the course of the 2013/14 campaign (from Szabolcs Huszti, Jonathan Schmid, Roberto Firmino, Joselu and Ricardo Rodriguez) to bump his career quota up to 42 per cent (eight saves from 19 penalties). No goalkeeper has kept out as many penalties in a single season since Borussia Mönchengladbach's Uli Sude in 1984/85.
